MEGA PEACOAT THREAD - 61 threads merged - all Peacoat questions HERE

I have a 35" chest. I wear suits in either 35R or 36R. For my peacoat I sized down to a 34R.

Read what I wrote at the top of my post. You can find all the info in the linked threads.

Nice thread. I think I'm going to look around the Army/Navy stores in Seattle and see if I can try one of these on. Definitely will be grabbing one from Sterlingwear, I've been looking for a good Peacoat for the winter.

I ordered mine couple days ago. I pick the color oxford grey...will post pic when I get it.
I'm 5'7..155lb..so I got a 36small.

hmm..I'm almost the same size, so I'm interested in seeing what you think of the 36.

i ordered an american eagle pea coat for 100bucks, ill report on how well it fits, i was able to order a XS so things look good so far.

I'm in the Navy and could go to the NEX and see how much we get these for. I might be able to do a proxy, if it's not against our regs or anything.

5'7", 162lb, ordered a 38s in Oxford Gray. This was on September 23, mind you. So a week more, maybe, until it actually gets here...

Not a great pic, but it may get the idea across. I was 6', ~155 lbs, chest measured around 34-35". Sized down to a 32L Sterlingwear:

I dunno... after seeing so many examples of sized down Sterlingwear, I think I might just stick to a credibly designer Peacoat and cop one off the B/S forums.

I think they would be fine, in small communities, but since moving almost every other person has a peacoat and let's be honest, it's not that hard to size it correctly. So even if I size it perfectly, it doesn't really make me stand out among the crowd. I find the Sterlingwear just so bland and box like that I think I'll have to pass in favor of a more fashion forward cut.

I bought the Banana Republic triblend (mosty wool) black peacoat the other day in my true size, and the fit is right on. It's slightly tailored looking, and has a slightly longer cut than the traditional pea coat, which makes it a bit more versatile in my estimation. Makes it something I can easily dress up.

I'd like to see this as well as I'm exactly the same height/weight

For the record, unless Sterlingwear happened to have one already made, Oxford Greys are made-to-order, which takes 2-4 weeks. I got mine in 4 weeks. So those of you waiting to see them on others may be waiting a while.
